I have been eyeing this dress for, probably months now. And when I saw the fabric options this month, I knew exactly what I was making. This summer dress has been popping up on my feed and I have been drooling.

Because this was over the holidays and I knew I’d be short on time I used one of my favorite patterns to give me a base for the dress. But even then it was a little ambitious for my available time.

Do I regret it? No. Because who could regret something with a flowy skirt and a color-blocked bodice? Plus, I had a lovely friend cheer me on the entire process. So that helped.
